Chapter two hundred and seventy third: irreparable
The coin fell vertically to the ground, and after spinning on the spot for more than ten times, it gradually stopped spinning. As for the four executors who never took their eyes off the coin, they finally obtained the final result:
With the help of a flashlight, at this moment, the front of the coin is displayed directly in front of everyone's eyes.
The front side represents power restored.
Seeing this, without hesitation or hesitation, He Fei, who had already left the choice to God, nodded to each other, stretched out his right hand with Ye Wei and others, and pressed directly downwards, pressing the red button representing the power switch.
Buzz!
Click, click, click...
Next, the equipment started up, and the silence of the power room was broken by the sound of mechanical operation. When the power equipment resumed operation, a series of resounding crisp clicks also appeared. Starting from the power room, as the lights came on, the corridor outside the door also
Light was restored in patches at an extremely fast speed, and the light tubes on the ceiling lit up one after another. After a few seconds, up to 20 corridors on each floor were flooded with light without exception.
The power was completely restored. Except for the rooms on both sides of each floor, which were still dark, the corridors on all floors were brightly lit. In just a moment, the power was restored to the entire building. Under the dark night, the Hengfeng Building stood out from the crowd from a distance. After all, the entire building was completely restored.
The whole city is dark, but the glow of a single building is really eye-catching.
"Haha! Now it's brighter. I used to be in the dark, but now I don't have to use a flashlight anymore!"
Seeing that He Fei pressed the switch and the power room and the corridor outside the door were instantly illuminated, Peng Hu, who had long been fed up with the dark environment, immediately burst into laughter when he took back his flashlight.
Since the power was restored and her vision had returned to clarity, Cheng Ying immediately re-observed her surroundings. Although He Fei was not as happy as Peng Hu, he still took a long breath of relief. However, not everyone was convinced that the power was restored.
Happy attitude, at least Ye Wei still maintains some indescribable complexity
At this moment, she was looking at the brightly lit environment around her. Somehow, after the lighting system of the building was restored, the female captain still had a faint hint of uneasiness between her brows. The uneasiness never dissipated for a long time, even when He Fei suggested it.
She actually nodded in agreement when the coin was tossed.
Yes, this is the first time that she has violated her own intuition and refuted her personal intuition with logical analysis results. This is not her fault. After all, this time she has overwhelming analysis conclusions and observations, but why?
…
(Why does a bright environment make me more uneasy?)
Of course, the above are just subconscious feelings, inexplicable feelings without reason and evidence. This feeling cannot replace reality, so she was quickly suppressed by Ye Wei, and then immediately turned to He Fei, Peng Hu and Cheng Ying.
The person ordered: "Let's go upstairs!"
In fact, there was no need for Ye Wei to give orders at all. When the vision was clear, He Fei and Ye Wei, who had clear thoughts, ran out of the power room almost at the same time. Peng Hu and Cheng Ying were also not slow, so, just like that, after the building lighting system was restored
Afterwards, the four executors, eager to break the stoppage of time, ran non-stop towards the upper floor.
Da da da da!
The footsteps echoed in the corridor again. Several people had clear goals and moved as fast as possible. They were currently shuttled between the floors collectively, but... during the process of the four people moving forward, whether they were passing through the corridor or on the stairs,
Or perhaps when entering the upper floor, there was a detail that was never discovered by anyone.
That is...
If you carefully observe a few people or the environment at this time, you will find that there is nothing unusual about Ye Wei, He Fei, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu who are currently moving quickly between floors, and the surrounding environment is also normal.
There is no change, but if we use another perspective to deliberately observe the clearly revealed shadows of everyone under the light...
Then you will suddenly find an extremely terrifying scene:
At this moment, as the four people are running continuously, as the four people are constantly shuttled layer by layer, the shadows trailing on the ground behind them...
There was actually a human face faintly appearing in the center of every shadow!
A human face with a weird smile!!!
The human face is black and basically blends in with the shadow, so it is very inconspicuous. But even so, due to its certain outline shape, if you can observe carefully and carefully, you can still tell that there is indeed a human face in the shadow. Yes, every
There is an unclear face hidden in the shadow behind an executor. The face moves with the shadow and the executor, and these extremely difficult to detect faces always maintain a smile no matter which face they are.
.
This scene is not only terrifying but also extremely terrifying. It must be impossible for any individual to calm down when he discovers this scene. Unfortunately, although this scene actually exists, none of the executioners currently running upwards one level at a time.
Even Ye Wei and Cheng Ying, who have the strongest observation of details and the best vision, did not notice it. This is easy to understand. After all, shadow... Unless it is mentioned deliberately, who would go there?
What about observing shadows?
Not only humans have shadows, but everything in the world, except the invisible material air, will have shadows when exposed to light. Whether it is sunlight, light or fire, as long as there is light, even the most transparent glass will have a shadow. This is common sense.
It is also a basic manifestation of physics, shadow
, the shadow itself has no meaning, as long as it is tangible and qualitative, there will be a shadow, so naturally, who in the world would be bored enough to care about this naturally occurring thing about the shadow that will accompany you for life? Even if you are mentally unstable
Normal madmen are unlikely to care about shadows.
Of course the executors are not madmen. Not only are they not mad, most of the executors who can survive are also smart people far beyond ordinary people. What's more, given the current situation, no one is focusing on observation. In addition, if time is not solved, time will stop.
Under the huge pressure of being trapped alive, even if you are alert to danger, you will often only observe the surrounding environment, instead of observing common sense things like shadows.
The common sense possessed by normal people would make people ignore a lot of things, but who would have thought... the mutation is also hidden in the common sense of physics that no one cares about.
Da da da da da…
So, just like this, the four Ye Wei people who were eager to rush to the top of the 20th floor dragged their shadows hiding their smiling faces through the floors, gradually approaching the top of the building.
………
The supernatural mission is in progress. The location, Hengfeng Building, and time are unknown.
Plop!
Staring at the bright corridor around him, staring at the clearly visible environment in front of him, Zhao Ping, who had fallen down countless times because of the darkness in his vision earlier, fell to the ground again. However, the difference from before was that because the corridor was now
The light has been restored, so this time the bespectacled man did not fall due to unclear vision, but fell due to a strong sense of fear. His body swayed, and his legs softened and he was half-kneeling on the ground.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
Because he stopped running, his rapid breathing gradually became calmer, but the bespectacled man's already pale face became even paler! The cold sweat on his forehead was several times more than before!
In this empty, silent but brightly lit corridor, Zhao Ping did nothing or said anything. The man neither got up to continue running nor shouted anything. Instead, he slowly looked up after being stunned for a few seconds.
Looking above his head, he looked at the rows of bright light tubes directly above him. For some reason, at this moment, looking at these light-emitting devices that could dispel darkness and bring people a sense of security, Zhao Ping actually paid attention to these lighting devices for the first time.
A strong fear emerged. This was also the first time that he yearned for darkness and hoped that darkness would replace light.
Yes, as luck would have it, what he was most worried about happened. The four Ye Wei people who gathered together not only found the power room but also successfully restored the power supply to the building. In fact, strictly speaking, restoring the power supply was not only for Ye Wei and the others.
It's a matter of course, even for him, Zhao Ping. The reason is very simple. If he, Zhao Ping, had not accidentally discovered the secret of the shadow earlier, he would surely have restored the power to the building without hesitation once he discovered the power room.
.
But it’s different now, completely different! Zhao Ping, who discovered the secret of the shadow, is now most afraid of the restoration of lighting equipment. The reason why he was so impatient and running around at first was to prevent this from happening. He tried to find Ye
Wei and the others, even if they can't find it, they must try their best to find it before the other party finds the power room.
He went to the power room and destroyed the electrical equipment. Unfortunately... it was too late. He didn't dare to use the cat's eye flashlight because of the different shadows, which caused his search efficiency to be greatly reduced in the dark when he couldn't see anything. Ye Wei, who didn't know the truth,
However, the four of them found the power room before him, and then restored the power to the building as expected.
The above description is actually just a fleeting thought in the heart of the bespectacled man out of fear. In reality, after confirming that he was completely enveloped by the light, in just a few seconds, Zhao Ping suddenly turned around as if he suddenly remembered something very scary.
, looked back at the ground, and at the shadow behind him that had been clearly revealed by the light...
In his field of vision, he could see that there was nothing special about the shadow trailing behind him. It was still a shadow that was the same as his body shape. However, because he was extremely concerned about shadows, after careful observation, the man with glasses still discovered it.
A thing, something that is close to him but impossible to get rid of...
A human face, a smiling human face hidden in its own shadow. The outline of the facial features is the same as what was seen in the mirror, and the appearance is no different from mine. But at this moment, this other person's face is almost exactly the same as mine.
A 'Zhao Ping face' looked at each other with Zhao Ping himself while maintaining a weird smile!
